For the #printerSolstice prompt split complimentary I was reminded of an animal that is fuchsia, indigo & yellow. So I made some wee little prints of a strange & beautiful creature, the fuchsia flatworm (Pseudoceros ferrugineus) from the tropical Indo-Pacific. Their gorgeous colours are aposematic - a warning to predators that they are not worth eating. So they can crawl around & feed on coral reefs without concern.

Fuchsia flatworm (Pseudoceros ferrugineus)
Day 16 of #invertober #invertober2023
The Fuchsia flatworm's striking appearance, characterized by its bright fuchsia, red, and yellow body colors, not only serves as camouflage against coral backgrounds but also warns potential predators of its distastefulness.
